During the course of my work as an attorney focusing on serious injuries resulting from car accidents in Virginia, I have seen the harm that being improperly restrained in a vehicle can cause. As parents, we want to do everything we can to protect our children from the physical and emotional trauma that an injury from a car accident will bring.
The National Highway Safety Traffic Administration has lauched a new website to help parents determine which car seat is the safest option for their child. The website can be accessed through this link:

Information specific to Virginia can also be found on the site. Read and follow these guidelines every time you travel. A properly installed and selected car seat may save the life of your child.
